Project Delivery Manager
This role represents a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Project Delivery Manager to take full, end-to-end ownership of project delivery within a growing and change-focused organisation. The position offers real autonomy, visibility, and influence, with responsibility for shaping delivery frameworks, driving execution, and ensuring projects are taken from concept through to successful implementation.
The organisation is a growing specialist insurance business operating within the SME and broker-led market, with ambitious plans to expand its product offering and strategic capabilities. The environment is agile, collaborative, and delivery-focused, with an emphasis on ownership and pragmatism rather than heavy bureaucracy or layered governance.

This is a ground-up position, ideal for someone who enjoys building structure, implementing fit-for-purpose delivery frameworks, and operating with a high degree of autonomy in an SME environment.
